The rake an trail on a springer is measured differently because the offset is ZERO.
The front fork legs are in line with the steering head bearing.
The trail is measured from the distance where the steering head line meets the ground with the line that intersects the center of the rockers pivot point.

See how the bottom example has no offset?
